 So far this year, there have been over 250 snake bites reported. There are six different venomous snakes in North Carolina, and experts say there are ways to avoid getting bit. The best way to avoid being bitten by a snake is not getting close enough to put it in a situation where it feels like it needs to bite. Keep in mind that snakes don't see humans as prey. They only try to bite if someone gets too close or feel that they're in danger. Anna Erickson, WBT News.
